Wednesday, March 10, 4:00 PM

 

You are invited to join the College of Arts and Sciences for a program on COVID-19: Vaccines and Variants. UD experts listed below and Dr. Karly Rattay from the Delaware Division of Public Health will address the response to the pandemic in the State of Delaware as well as many aspects of the basic science of mitigating this global crisis.  We will hear answers to some important and very timely questions:  How will vaccines make a difference in our everyday life? What mixture of vaccinations, masks, social distancing, quarantining, testing, and contact tracing do we need to prioritize? How do variants evolve and what difference will their evolution connote for continuing vigilance?
